AVOIDING TORN HANDS

Torn hands are not cool. They are not a badge of honor. They are an injury. This person is pretty much fucked for any training that requires a good grip for at least a few days. I've written several posts about why you shouldn't tear your hands and how to avoid tearing your hands:

A shout out to Kawika and all my friends at Lahaina CrossFit!

Don't forget that Ryan Adler's Magic Show is Saturday night at One World. The show will start at 7pm. Besides the free Magic Show (donations being collected for the Wounded Warrior Project), there will also be a raffle with the proceeds from the raffle also going to the Wounded Warrior Project. Raffle prizes include a dinner for two at a great restaurant, massage gift certificates, and a Sony Playstation.

Kipping pullups don't do shit! They're not building strength obviously and also messing up your palms...

It might help for FRAN Workouts but they don't do shit for strength.

And I'm not sure if this is true or not but I heard that kipping can screw your shoulders. people should work hard on learning strict pullups maybe doing 2-3 a day and then building on to doing more reps.

I honestlly think that kipping is a waste of time and doesn't do any benefit to the upperbody. And thats just disgusting to mess your hands up like that. Painful and nasty
